Hi. I'm new to this section, but I would appreciate some advice please.
I am (hopefully) moving soon. My new home needs redecorating and new bathrooms. I have ideas, but don't want to mess up as I'm not any good at this home design thing.
The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom. It is about 8' x 7', east facing (ish) with a small window. It will have white sanitary wear - sink, toilet, shower. I would like to have tiled floor and walls. I like mid-dark grey large tiles, and would like to do both floor and walls with these. My questions are:
- is this likely to make the room too dark? If so, what would be better?
- should I go with chrome or white extraction fan, cabinet, etc? (I favour chrome)
- would it look ok with a white storage unit (for towels and the like)? Any recommendations? (it will need to be tall and narrow)
- what lighting is currently in favour in bathrooms? I think I want to stick to ceiling lights rather than walls. Any alternatives to downlights?
I intend to use grey with plum accessories in the bedroom.
Note, I hope to be in the house for years, so me liking it is more important than resale. But I don't want to do something which everyone else thinks looks awful. Also, I am unlikely to change it in the next decade or two so am not after anything really trendy that will quickly date.
What do you experts think please? Thanks.
